Agatha The Legendary Guild Master

The next waves were a mix of many kinds of monsters, either in packs or alone. The most ferocious of all were the tigers, as they came in a large group of a hundred, led by a majestic huge one.

"I like you, if you knelt and surrendered to me I won't kill you," I loudly shouted as I liked the idea of taming this wild tiger.

"Roar!"

The tiger seemed pissed off by my words, roaring for long moments and then its group of tigers moved in unison to attack me. "Wild and energetic one you are, and quite arrogant; just my type, hehehe," I laughed as I started attacking the tigers, killing dozens of them until they reached my demons.

And then their real nightmare began! Foolish whoever thought lightly of two dumb looking demons; all ended up dead by them. I didn't stop helping, as this time I had my eyes sat on a bigger prize.

In less than ten minutes, the majestic and mighty group of tigers were belittled to only one tiger; their leader.

"If you want to end up dead then run away. If you want to end up stabbed by my spear in your belly then try to defy me. either surrender or succumb to your fate and be my own little cat," I said as the tiger was about to move, planning to run away.

But my words, plus I threw my spear to cut the path it planned to use to escape, before snapping my fingers and the spear returned instantly to appear in my hand.

"Your call buddie," I said, while waiting for this tiger to decide.

"Roar!"

It first roared long, and I thought it was about to give its life away, but the next moment it lowered its head, announcing its allegiance to me.

"Ding Dong! The tiger queen is giving you her allegiance. Congratulations you gained a pet."

"I know already, why stating the obvious?" I said in a sharp tone but it didn't hide my ecstasy. It wasn't a he, but a she, a tigress really suited to be on my side.

"Come, from this moment on you will be my side, fight together and let's dominate the entire world," I said with a soft chuckle while gesturing for her to come.

"Thanks master."

And the next moment I got this pleasant surprise, totally blowing off my mind! "Can you speak?" I hurriedly asked, with much anticipation and disbelief.

"Ding Dong! As your pet, you two can communicate."

And the answer came from this stupid annoying system! "If so why don't you turn those two dummies into my pets then?" I asked, with much discontent as this seemed another trick that dirty system pulled off!

"…"

"What? The cat ate your tongue?" I didn't retreat for an inch here! I wanted to press on him to make my two demons return to what they were like before.

"Ding Dong! The two are connected to your artifact, and so you must abide by the rules of your artifact."

"Pathetic," I commented before adding, "you select to abide by your rules whenever it suits your mood and interest, and decide not to abide by them if you don't like it. you aren't fair!"

"Ding Dong! Ding Dong!"

"Don't Ding Dong me!"

"Ding Dong! Ding Dong!"

"Double-sided unjust system," I muttered to reply to his insult! He should be my ally and helper, not my restrainer and foe! I sighed helplessly as I had nothing in my hand to repay this injustice to him, but sooner or later I would find a way; I must!

"What's your name?" I asked the tigress while she moved to stand beside me while my two demons kept attacking some random monsters attacking here.

"I'm called Lilly, master."

"Good, tell me, do you know of any other strong monsters like you or stronger than you here?" I asked, casually, as she was considered one of the locals.

"No one is stronger or even like me!" she arrogantly said, before I gave her a silent glance that made her quite nervous as she hurriedly added, "but there are a group of others who are near my strength. I- I'm pretty confident the master will be interested in them."

I chuckled as this was the way I loved my followers to behave around me; be obedient and always answer precisely what I asked –no more!

"Alright, lead the way then," I said, before recalling something, "do you know of any nearby villages of humans or other intelligent races?" I asked, as she was a local, she must have knowledge about anything that would happen in the whole territory.

"There are many, master," and her reply just fell like the sweetest melody on my ears; making my soul rejoice even more than I ate that fruit. "Really? That's great, and I suppose you know the places of them, right?"

"Ding Dong! Please stick to your missions or you will lose out your rewards!"

"Screw you!"

I harshly instantly replied with a sharp tone to this really annoying system. I had finally found a more trusted way, free from any monitoring and control, and now he was trying to make me ignore it? screw him for a million times then!

"Tell me, do you know the way?" I glanced over the startled Lilly, who seemed quite puzzled by my last shout.

"I- I know, master."

"Great, then I will let you help me with this," I said, before taking out the meat as I noticed her hungry look over it, so I asked: "Do you like roasted meat?"

"Sure, it's considered very beneficial to my evolution path."

Her reply gave me another thing to be shocked about, as I hurriedly asked:

"Do you mean you can evolve? Grow from this state to a higher form?"

"Sure, master. Any monster here can do that, and each has their own unique path of evolution."

"What's yours?" I asked, with much anticipation.

"To turn into a flying tiger as a monster, and take the shape of a really beautiful human just like you."

Her answer drove a smile forcibly over my face as I chuckled while asking:

"Do you want to be like me?"

"Sure, master, that's my dream and the dream of anyone else I know about."

I knew she was speaking about her friends of other monsters living here in this territory. "What's beneficial to your evolution then?" I asked.

"Any strong nutrient food is ok, like this meat. I heard there was once something called monster cores, parts of much stronger monsters that can give huge energy to those who eat them. These are our top in the chain item of evolution, master."

I knew exactly what she was talking about… my dear precious pearls! I thought they were lost, as they weren't compatible with this world's rules; but now I was proven to be mistaken!

"System," I faintly roared as I gritted my teeth, "did you hide my own pearls away from me on purpose?" I asked, while trying to act as cool as I could.

"Ding Dong! These items are considered high end technology that no one should ever possess!"

"Sneaky naughty system, didn't your mommy told you not to play in others stuff? Huh?"

"Ding Dong! Ding Dong!"

"Alright, if we don't reach an agreement right here right now about my hard acquired pearls, then I swear on my witch lineage and cursed bloodline that I won't stop at any lengths until I rule this world, then come to your dirty filthy lair, drag you out –you scum good for nothing piece of sh*t, and torture you for eternity without showing any mercy before destroying you once and for all!"
